Four students from Endicott College in Boston (Matthew Cruz, Greg Hosking, Luke Jodice and Jamyan Tamang) entered a 24 hour hackathon and developed an app that records and stores footage of interactions with police. Called ALive, the app stores the video files and enables users the ability to access the recordings without having to do so from the device they recorded on, meaning if something happens to the device, the user can still access the footage and potentially use it in civil or criminal complaints or at trials as evidence.

In March 2022, a team of law students from Swinburne University (Nicola Jerkovic, Will Klein and Jacinta Meadows) collaborated with AGL’s in-house legal team to come up with an AI infused legal intake triage tool. The result? An online tool that auto populates spreadsheets, sends automated emails, assigns tasks and generates documentation, resulting in a more efficient and streamlined process of legal requests into AGL's in-house legal team, and through the process, the students were able to test, select and develop a legal tech solution with real industry application.
